After experiencing hurricanes, storms, huge winds & waves, Pacific Terrific took 2nd place in The Great Pacific Race, The World's Ultimate Endurance Challenge, & in the process achieved 2 Guinness World Records.

Dare to Dream

The all-female Pacific Terrific crew were brought together by a common dream - to be the first crew of three in history to row the Pacific Ocean, and in doing so, achieve MULTIPLE WORLD RECORDS.

* On June 6th 2018, we departed Monterey, California to row 2,400 nautical miles across the Pacific Ocean to Waikiki, Hawaii.

* On August 8th 2018 we successfully achieved our aim and rowed into the record books.

NO CREW OF 3 HAD EVER ROWED ACROSS THE PACIFIC OCEAN

The Pacific Terrific 3 are the very first to cross the ocean by rowing boat, and the youngest 3x crew ever to attempt any ocean on earth. No female crew has ever won the Great Pacific race before, and we set out to change this too, seeking a podium position in the Great Pacific Race, setting a brand new world record as the first 3x crew in history to row the Pacific Ocean, and breaking a world record as the youngest 3x ever to row any ocean on earth.

More people have been to the Moon or climbed Everest than rowed an ocean. There are not many true world firsts remaining in this age of adventure, and as women to have the opportunity to be very first is even rarer. Participation in outdoor activities by women and girls is significantly lower than by men and boys, and within the realm of expeditions, history and records books, this is starkly evident. As 3 women of diverse backgrounds and experiences we stand to show that there is no set shape or form to determine success, no prerequisites or exclusions. With sheer determination and motivation, coupled with the incredible fortune of opportunity, anything can be accomplished by anyone.

The crew rowed in relentlessly rolling shift pattern of 3 hours on and off the oars, rowing more than 12 hours a day, at times alone, until we reached Hawaii. A huge number of tasks including navigation, desalination of sea water to drink, swimming mid-Pacific to clean the hull of the rowing boat and many more consumed our non-rowing hours. We faced sleep deprivation, 30ft waves, blisters, potential capsizes and dangers from sharks and whales.

CREW NEWS!

DARE TO BELIEVE

Physical fitness was key, but we always believed that true success would lie in mental strength. Each of us come from adventuring backgrounds, have overcome numerous challenges and succeeded against adversity. This gave us immense collective determination, drive, resilience, tenacity and self-belief.

We have absolute belief too in the value of what we have strived to promote through our achievement, not for ourselves but for a legacy of positive impact that we hope will continue to give long after our time on the oars has finished.
